Matt says, “In my piece I have tried to express my emotions to the viewer in the same manner. My picture is 3D. I have used acrylic paint, gorse, Modroc, steel and copper wire on 110gsm A2 artists paper. There is a vertical cylindrical focal point on the picture to represent me, I am walking forward off the page moving away from the past, the wires extending backwards from me into netting represent how hard it is for me to move on when things go wrong and I find myself angry with things, other people or aspects of society. I am being held back with the thoughts always there in the back of my mind I know if I turn around and look back anger will engulf my identity. I used bright colours before covering them in black so only bits of them would show through, this was to show how anger and hatred can cover up people’s true identity and if you let these thoughts control you, you lose your identity altogether”.
Matt
was inspired by David Bomberg’s The
Mud Bath, 1914.
